The brother-sister duo are setting up to release their debut EP via National Anthem (Chvrches, HAIM, Wet, etc). The EP is produced by Scottish music producer/go to guy Rodaidh McDonald (The xx, Adele, Vampire Weekend, etc). If ‘Universe’ is any indication of what we are to expect from this band, we are on board.
‘Universe’ can be best describe as a psychedelic/folk track. Think Daughter (also produced by Rodaidh McDonald) meets Karen-O. Though it is early in their music career, we think ARDYN will release quality tunes on their debut EP and beyond.
UNIVERSE
Ardyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We couldn't see but we let it in, yeah
So escape from my atmosphere, call it in
Nights and days to seasons real
I was looking at the moon at night
'Cause there you go, there you go
Chasing us, I found the universe
From the very start, the very start
You know I never do you wrong
If I was to get up and run
So escape from my atmosphere, call it in
Nights and days to seasons real
I was looking at the moon at night
'Cause there you go, there you go
Chasing us, I found the universe
You know, you know, I was wrong
From the very start, the very start
I told you, when you got lost
Only the present time
I told you, when you got lost
Only the present time
Escape from my atmosphere, call it in
Escape from my atmosphere, call it in
There you go, there you go
Chasing us, I found the universe
You know, you know, I was wrong
From the very start, the very start
In Ardyn's song "Universe," the lyrics seem to explore the themes of escape and self-discovery. The reference to the sun calling the singer back in implies a feeling of being drawn to something greater than themselves, and the line "We couldn't see but we let it in" suggests that they may have been initially hesitant to take this journey.
Throughout the song, there is a repetition of the phrase "escape from my atmosphere, call it in," which may be a metaphor for breaking free from one's own limitations and fears. The singer is looking at the moon, a symbol of mystery and wonder, at night, indicating that they may be seeking guidance or inspiration.
The chorus repeats the idea of somebody chasing them and them finding the universe through this pursuit, perhaps suggesting that the journey of self-discovery is not always easy, but can lead to a greater understanding of oneself and the world around them. The final repetition of "Escape from my atmosphere, call it in" reinforces this idea that breaking free from one's own limitations is necessary for finding their place in the universe.
